YOUNG'S FATHER
ASKS OFFICERS
PROBE KILLING
.
R. R. Young Starts Legal Pro
ceedings and Declares He
Will Sift to Bottom
Killing of Son.
On the eve of charges being filed
tgainst certain participants of last
Thursday morning's shooting that
resulted in the death of Louis
Young, alleged boy burglar, Abe
Sampson, ex-doorman at the old
Wick and Moore place, who is
quoted as saying that he shot the
boy, denies any assertion of a state
Went to that effect.
"I did not say I shot the kid, tut
merely thit Y0ungfell an instant
after I fired two shots at him,"
Sampson said yesterday.
Questions Sampson's Rights.
Incidental to the shooting of Louis
Young, R. R. Young, the father,
declares he will probe the affair to
ascertain what right Sampson had
to "use unnecessary force in at
tempting to capture the boys." Upon
the alleged boasting of Sampson to
intimate friends tliat "it was my shot
that killed the kid; I got down on
one knee and winged him," Mr.
Young is starting legal proceedings.
The parents who returned home
yesterday from Des Moines where
they took the body of their bay for
burial declare they still hold the
opinion that shooting to kill was
unnecessary in the capture of the
beys.
"My attorney has taken up the
matter," he said. Sampson is said
to have stated: "I can't get away
from the thought of having killed
the kid. I shot because I thought,
when I heard a scream, that there
were men running away from the
place."
"How do we know but what the
boys wanted to surrender?" the par
ents ask. "Maybe they had no chance
and when the firing started isn't it
possible that they would try to es
cape the shots? The law states that
only necessary force may be cm
ployed in the arrest of criminals,
and we're going to probe this affair."
Assistant County Attorney Ready
declared: "The coroner's jury has
put an end to the case as far as I
am concerned. Inference of testi
mony shows that Sampson shot the
boy, but I won't prosecute him, for
he was helping in the capture of
the boys."
Young's partner is still at large.
A hat belonging to the unidentified
boy was found in the back yard of
Joe Loch, 1810 Sherman avenue,
across whose lot the boy escaped.
Accept Jury's Decision.
Police heads have taken the deci
sion of the coroner's jury, "that the
shooting was justifiable."
"I will not conduct an investiga
tion as to whether Sampson had a
right to fire at the. boys or not,"
Police Commissioned Ringer stated.
Detective Dojan, who stood several
feet from Sampson during the shoot
ing, testified at the inquest that he
did not fire a single shot at the
boys. Detective Patach was the
only other person who fired at the
boys. He testified that his shots
went wild. At the inquest when
shown, the , bullet taken from
Young's body, Sampson stated: "1
use a bullet similar to that."
Young was shot and killed after
he and a boy companion, it is al
leged, had broken into, the barber
shop of Joe Janous, 1826 Sherman
avenue. At the' inquest held ovajr
the body, it was determined "that
the killing was justifiable."
No mention was made of Samp
son in the decision of the jury.

We were fortunate in
being able to secure a large
assortment of pretty tub
dresses for porch or house
wear, and they were re
ceived in time to be placed
on sale Tuesday in the Down

They are slightly im
perfect, a small oil spot, or
something of the sort, but
so alight you can scarcely
detect the imperfection,
and it is on this account that
the price is so extremely
low.
